Mr.. Powderly Speaks.

It is well-known fact that Mr.. Pow
derly is opposed to the socialistic ele-
ment Of the labor party. In a recent
communication which he wrote to a
Knight of Labor in New York City, he
says: ...- :.
"You have men in New York, who
have co-operated with men in Philadel-
phia to break up the order by going
to Catholic prelate of eminence and
telling him that our old oath is still in
force; that the word Of honor is but q
blind to make cats-paws of the Catho-
lie members, and that the General
Master Workman is party to the in
famous transaction. The curse IF the
Knights of Labor has come from the
the promptness with which acknowl-
edged leaders of the socialistic element
have put themselves forward at meet
ings, and. while speaking, plainly
limited at the musket and Gatling gun
as the remedy for labor's grievances. :"
Speaking later on, Mr.. Powderly ex-
presses himself very strongly on the
position taken by several members of
che order who do not wear the scars of
honest labor, but the scars of drunken
brawls, Mr.. Powderly rightly infers
that these men are curse to the labor
cause. In conclusion he censures the
anarchistic party in these words:
"Bah on the creatures who stand up
as champions of labor in the absence Of
unthinking men and advocate the knife
and bullet. Bah on the men who
Aaunt the red flags. They are too vile
to respect and too cowardly to uphold
the American flag, sanctifed by the
blood of patriots. They disgrace it
every time they go to the polls and vote
for monopoly and usury. They are not
to be trusted"
